Margaret Qualley suffered from acne after wearing prosthetics for 'The Substance'.
The 30-year-old actress used artificial features for her role in the 2024 body horror film but revealed that by the time she had started shooting 'Kinds of Kindness', her face had to be cut from certain shots because her skin had been so badly damaged.
Speaking on the 'Happy Sad Confused' podcast, she said: "Like, at the end, when they're shooting up my skirt in the beginning credits, and it's like the palm trees all around and they have all these long lenses from the bottom, that's just because my face was so f***** by that time that they couldn't, like, shoot my face anymore.
"So, you know the character that has all that acne? That was just my acne from the prosthetics."
The Hollywood star even noted that when she was playing the part of a character who was suffering from the skin condition within the story, that was not makeup and was all natural.
She said: "So, you know the character that has all that acne? That was just my acne from the prosthetics.
"And I was like, 'Oh this is kind of perfect. I'm playing all these different characters — for one of them we'll use all my crazy prosthetic acne.' It took me probably a year to recover physically from all of it."
For her role as Sue in 'The Substance', Margaret donned a fake pair of breasts because director Coralie Fargeat wanted to look like a 1980s bombshell.
Margaret previously told The Sunday Times: "Unfortunately, there is no magic boob potion, so we had to glue those on,Coralie found an incredible prosthetic team to endow me with the rack of a lifetime — just not my lifetime!"
